For VetrovUrgent

DearColleague,

Itis extremely sad that our correspondence is still not
properly organised, that I still have no special address
for you personally, that yon don’t reply to my questions
for so long.
(1) I wrote to you a very, very long time ago
thatZvezdastill had, in addition to the article “Debates
in Britain on Liberal Labour Policy”, the articles “Two
Utopias”[1]and a criticism of the boycott policy (against
Amfiteatrov, I don’t remember the
title[3]). I repeat what
I asked: get hold of them and send them to me. I hope to
make use of them.
(2) AtPravdathere are also a number
of articles which have not been used there. I very much
want, you to find them and make them into notes of a
publicist signed, say, T.... The approximate arrangement would
be:
I. Reply to Mayevsky (inLuch, about liquidationism).
(This subject is the more necessary because Dnevnitsky
and Plekhanov, in No. 234 ofPravda, have struck false
notes.)
II. Bulgakov inRusskaya Myslon the peasants
(I don’t remember the title).
III. On morality (two short
articles).
IV. “An Increasing Discrepancy” (on the February
1913 conference of the Cadets. We must react to this. Two
short articles were sent toPravdathe day before yesterday;
theremaningfour are small, I am sending them today).
The titles for these paragraphs should not be in large type
(as was clone in the article “Results of the
Elections”[2]in No. 1 ofProsveshcheniye) but in small point.

Thereare an awful lot of misprints in No. 1 ofProsveshcheniye....
I enclose the corrected proofs of the article “Debates
in Britain on Liberal Labour Policy”. It should be printed.
Have yon really not managed to get rid yet of Mikhalchi....
This is essential, I assure you, essential. I have seen a
misprint on page 26 ofProsveshcheniyeNo. 1. A correction in
print is absolutely necessary. I enclose the correction.

Manymisprints occurred in the January number ofProsveshcheniye(1913, No. 1). We correct one which distorts
the sense. On page 26, line 23 from the top, it reads: “25 per
cent in the workers’ party”, but should read “52 per cent”.
